A WOMEN'S CHAMPION
"Margaret Sanger," an autobiography published by Gollancz, is the life story of a woman who started a crusade on behalf of her/ sex. Margaret Sanger was born with courage; her. father taught her complete and utter honesty of mind;- her childhood, surroundings impressed upon her that poverty went hand in hand with too large families; her marriage with the young architect, William Sanger, gave her an understanding of the beauty latent in the relationship between man and wife; the birth of her three children brought a further fulfilment her association with leaders of liberal thought deepened her sense of social responsibility; her nursing in the* slums of New York aroused her deepest emotions Of sympathy towards heavily oppressed motherhood. Dedicated to lifting that burden and insuring every child its birthright of health and happiness, this shy, frail woman, braved social opprobrium, defied the Federal Government, went into voluntary exile, rather than surrender her principles. For these principles, the State of New York imprisoned her. But she was never defeated, and after a quarter of a century many in all ranks of life have been won over to the side of birth control.
